SCHILLER INSTITUTE CONFERENCE

Building A World Land-Bridge:Realizing Mankind's True Humanity

Thursday, April 7, 2016, 9:00am - 9:30pmNEW YORK CITY

The people of the world must--before it is too late--lift
their eyes to the heavens. "Man", the poet Friedrich
Schiller says, "is greater than his destiny." The question
confronting us today, in what may very well be the most
precarious period of all human history, is not any single
issue, not even the issue of "war or peace," even though a
thermonuclear world war III, now acutely threatened, would annihilate the human species. The question before us all--what is the true nature of mankind?--will no longer
permit itself to be ignored. The heavens themselves, and
the desperate conditions of life of the world's majority,
demand an immediate end to the mud-bound, enmeshed
and mired preoccupations and obsessions of the profit-greedy
speculators.

In the work of the creative scientist, such as the
recently celebrated Albert Einstein, a single human mind
seems able to uplift the self-conception and power of the
whole human race. That individual mind, however, is but
one voice in the chorus of humanity itself. In the
realization of such unique discoveries, through the
discipline of physical economy, as conceived by
U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, the potential
for mankind as a whole to provide such discoveries for the
universe itself, is demonstrated to be "the reason we are
here". We are, if we choose to be so, the instrument by
means of which the universe itself is made "greater than
its destiny." That is mankind's extra-terrestrial imperative.

The Chinese space program's commitment to explore the far side of the moon; the Russian proposals for a "Strategic Defense of the Earth", pooling the world's best
minds and resources for a joint defense of mankind as a
whole from comets and asteroids; and the redefinition of
world physical economy through a new alliance of equals,
such as is posed by a possible collaboration of the United
States with Russia, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa,
and other nations, in the building of a World Land-Bridge,
would be a new era in civilization. Economist Lyndon
LaRouche, and Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche
have campaigned for this policy for well over 30
years. Their vision, and that of these nations, can become
a reality, but only by eliminating the anti-human policies
of Wall Street monetarism, and by removing the
representatives of those Wall Street policies from institutions of influence and power.

The moment to introduce the World Land-bridge
concept to an American audience is extremely ripe. While
the world situation still remains extremely tense, with the
ceasefire in Syria negotiated between the United States
and Russia, there is a unique -- and perhaps rather
fleeting -- opportunity to put forward the One Belt, One
Road (New Silk Road Initiative) as the basis for economic
reconstruction of the region, in order to eliminate the
underlying causes of war and division. This may well be a
matter of life or death for humanity.
